Critics say, "Oh,, It's got that bright pumpkin orange everywhere..." THANK YOU!! I've been watching your videos and reading your books for years now, looking at your desktop monitors, and noticing the same yellows I also like! So many are desaturating the yellow to a cream - I hate it! I've just stopped contributing to FB photo groups because of the critics. My clients LOVE my twilights and I owe much of that praise to your teaching! Thanks again PhotoScholar!
Thank you! So true! I've found that negative critics tend to be photographers seeking approval from photographers. But shooting for clients is what matters and providing the products clients want. Moreover, unlike photographer approval, client approval is measurable: by pay and, more importantly, repeat work.
I had a lockbox the other day and the client requested twilights, so I had to do all the basic prep work. But they also asked if I could remove the 2 piece spa cover which was pretty heavy and inconvenient. Took time away from me taking the photos. What would you do in that situation? Do you say something to the client?? Thanks Nathan!
If they asked you to do all the prep and they informed you of the spa cover, if you were ok with removing the spa cover then you should have arrived earlier (something I discussed in this video when doing all the prep yourself).
Good info as always! I usually take any shots with the camera facing east first since that part of the sky gets darker earlier, then proceed to anything where I’m facing west. I usually struggle to fill in the shadows by that point, though, since the ambient light is too low. I presume you blend in multiple exposures to address this? Might have to buy your course to watch the edit process.
Thanks! In the 10-minute shooting window I talk about in this video it won't matter which direction you face, so I'd suggest dropping that technique. The money shots matter most and you can't control the direction of the sun for that. Instead, follow the proper prep and planning and you'll get the shots that matter, under any conditions. On your question on blending multiple exposures, I discussed that in this video too 😊
Curious if you do any twilight exteriors involving flash? Mike Kelley, among others I'm sure, is kind of known for this. When doing that style you really can only do 1 composition.

No need for that, especially if you want to get the number of shots I talk about in this video.
